p.s. there are chairs designed for people with back problems.these assume a
semi-squatting position and are very comfortable.some also have a back
support included.they do not involve any discomfort.

Maybe my back is already messed up and I'm only 43. I have a hard time
sitting on the floor for any length of time without pain.

Squating is normal and natural.squating to defaecate reduces the pressure in
the leg veins minimisinfg the risk of varicose veins.squating takes a little
bit of practice but if one is out on the moor then it can avoid a wet
bottom.Give it a try

As I contemplate my coming retirement, I was sitting down in a comfortable
chair reading (Derrick Jensen's latest book) and thinking how much I was
going to enjoy reading more. I have been planning to replace the cheap
old chair I was using with a new comfortable leather-upholstered chair
that would make my retirement, my reading and relaxation even more
enjoyable. My son, who is the most Paleo person I know, entered the room
and we talked about Jensen and I mentioned my plans for chair-driven
comfort.
He brought me up with a start, pointing out that chairs were introduced
well into the Neolithic, that it is chair-based activity (driving, office
jobs) that leads to back problems. He advised me to get down on the
floor - as he does - to read. Rather than engaging in stretching to
compensate for the abuse to my body by chairs, he advised me (with the
confidence only a 21 year old can know) to get off my butt and avoid the
damage in the first place.
I know that when I was in the highlands of Papua New Guinea I would see
the old people squatting for hours on end, in a roughly circular group,
talking together. No chairs. Depictions of Paleolithic people, on the
other hand, often show them sitting (when flint napping, making a spear,
eating etc.). But maybe the artists was forcing them into the their
modern, Western mould.
Any ideas on sitting?
Keith
